This campsite is located on a point and offers some really nice panoramic views of Clearwater Lake, which was the highlight for me. The landing is easy. You pull into a small bay and step out on a gently sloping rock, which made unloading simple. The site itself is a bit exposed, and there aren't many large trees, so wind could be a factor. I found two good tent pads and no realistic space beyond that. The view is what makes this site worthwhile, not the tenting space.

Good landing and good location on a nice point that provide panoramic views of this beautiful lake. While the site does have some larger trees they are all kind of in tight clusters not conducive to effective tarp or hammock rigging and leave different angles of the site entirely exposed. Current log seating leaves a lot to be desired. There are a couple of really nice tent pads but, the site does seem kind of low lying. You'll need to cross a substantial knobby boulder garden to get to the latrine.

Great Spot on a Rocky Point. Great Swimming. Watch out for Rocks from about 100ft out when approaching.
